[COD] Newbie's Rise to Power

You stood at the window for several minutes, and not only your lips moved, but the coat you were wearing was also a signal that the mission was accomplished.

"Little bird, get ready."

Behind me, I heard light footsteps, followed by the ghost's voice.

Without turning around, you gave a soft "hmm" and asked him, "Is it resolved?"

The ghost's voice was hoarse, like a low growl coming from hell.

"immediately..."

A crisp click of a pistol being cocked rang out, and when you turned your head, you saw the ghost raising its gun and aiming at a certain spot.

You look in the direction of his gun and see that woman!

She hurried towards the spider, her expression panicked, and just a few steps away...

"boom--"

The woman was shot through the temple, her expression frozen in terror, before collapsing limply to the ground.

"Now, it's resolved."

The ghost responded.

For some reason, you could hear a sense of relief in his tone.

You look at him in surprise, and receive a gloomy look in his eyes.

"Don't be angry, I'll explain after the mission is over."

You nodded: "Okay."

You know, now is not the time to dwell on these things. If Ghost doesn't bring it up after the mission is over, you'll have to press him for answers.

This shot has once again drawn everyone's attention to you.

This time, even Spider's expression turned grim; this was the second time you'd fired shots on his territory.

The man before him only had an arm injury, but this time someone died, so he had to step in to handle the situation.

"Ms. Y, this is the second time. What do you mean by this?"

The moment you finished speaking, several armed men entered and aimed at you.

The person who was just excitedly asking you to help check the gun is now staring at you with a serious expression.

You responded with a cold expression: "Because she was going to inform on us. She chose the wrong path, so she should bear the consequences."

You don't know what the ghost is thinking, but since the woman has chosen to side with the drug dealers, she is destined to be your enemy.

There is no need to be merciful to the enemy.

Spider frowned: "Informant? You're not Miss Y, are you police officers from another state?"

He could at least be sure that the police officers in this state wouldn't come to his door to cause trouble, if not know them all.

You remained silent and did not respond to him.

The spider, however, took this as a tacit agreement and began to persuade, "Officer, why make things so tense? We can cooperate, can't we?"

You scoff: "Cooperation? What can you offer me?"

The spider slowly walks towards you, its smile becoming exaggerated, and its tone revealing excitement.

"Don't you work so hard just to survive? Is it because of some ridiculous ideal? Ideals can't feed you, they can put you in danger."

"Why not join us? I can make you money! You can earn more from one deal than a year's salary, and you can retire after a few years. Isn't that wonderful!"

You laughed, took the gun out of its holster, and pointed it at him.

"It's a very tempting offer, but I don't want to retire right now."

The spider's expression slowly turned serious.

“Darling, you won’t be leaving this villa. Laying down your weapons will prevent you from getting hurt.”

Just as you were about to say maybe not, an explosion suddenly rang out from the tall iron gate of the villa!

Merrick and his team leaned against the wall outside the villa, and immediately gave the order after the iron gate was blown open.

"A surprise attack!"

Then, like cunning fish, they entered while firing, killing the four enemies gathered at the gate.

Inside the villa, a subordinate rushed in, looking nervous, and loudly reported to Spider:

"Boss, it's those Americans!"

"We wanted to fight back, but the weapon malfunctioned and exploded!"

Upon hearing his words, the spider's expression instantly turned serious, and the masseter muscles clenched together bulged out.

"To the armory!"

He roared.

Then he walked quickly toward you, pointing in a direction.

"Those Americans fight indiscriminately, you should leave here!"

Just as he said those words, a bullet shattered the glass and flew in from outside the window.

The bullet grazed between you and the spider, stopping him in his tracks, before finally striking the crystal chandelier on the wall with a crackling sound, sending sparks flying.

You subconsciously look in the direction the bullet came from, as if you can see those calm, gray-blue eyes.

Wood chips flew everywhere in the living room, mahogany furniture was torn apart by bullets, and everyone screamed and took cover!

Merrick and his men burst in!

A drug dealer upstairs leaned out and yelled at the spider:

"Boss, the armory won't open!"

He instantly realized what was happening and glared at you with eyes blazing with fury!

And your response to him was a shot without hesitation!

The spider reacted extremely quickly, dodging and hiding in a corner!

There was intense gunfire outside. Although you blocked the door to the weapons room and tampered with some weapons, they still had other spare weapons on them to fight back.

It's only a matter of time before the armory door is breached; you must take control of the situation as soon as possible!

A drug dealer is hiding behind the stairs, trying to open fire on you to cover Spider's passage.

"The stairs on the left!"

You stare at the spider, giving a verbal warning without turning your head.

The ghost behind you quickly changed direction, and after a gunshot, the sound of a heavy object rolling down the stairs came from behind.

A man screamed and tumbled down the steps, his blood staining the carpet like dark red flowers.

ch.286: Don't cry, Simon

The sound of breaking glass came from the second floor. Two drug dealers tried to ambush someone from the balcony, but were hit in the knee by Merrick's team members who were lying in ambush downstairs. They fell heavily onto the cobblestones in the garden, their blood splattering on the white ground.

Amidst flying debris from the wall, Merrick used the pillar cover to roll and advance, then accurately shot and killed two enemies!

Meanwhile, you and the ghost traverse the chaotic hall, killing enemies amidst rapidly crisscrossing bullet tracks that weave together a dense, invisible net.

Even in the remote Keegan area, just a window provides a tiny space to eliminate enemies trying to get close, ensuring your safety.

Thanks to your superior firepower and experience, even with reinforcements arriving later, the battle was over in less than an hour.

The spider was being restrained, his hair disheveled, and his face smeared with ash. But the look in his eyes remained unchanged.

"Can you tell me your name?"

You said calmly, "You and I have different positions, so there's no point in knowing too much."

He chuckled softly: "Let's keep this as a memento, to commemorate our brief memory."

He was clearly pinned to the ground, yet he didn't seem flustered at all; his mindset could be described as very open-minded.

But you still rejected him.

"I don't have a name, and even if I did, I wouldn't tell you."

No matter how much he seems to care about you, you won't be soft-hearted towards a drug dealer.

She wouldn't reveal any of her information to him.

Spider gave a bitter smile and, before being forcibly shoved into the car, turned and shouted at you.

"I've never been a hypocrite; my feelings for you are genuine! My regret at meeting you is also genuine!"

He never imagined that one day he would be defeated because of a woman!

Merrick immediately pointed his gun at him and warned:

"Shut up, you bastard! Want to eat a bullet?"

Keep in mind that they're broadcasting a public radio station right now, so Keegan can hear their conversation.

Although Keegan appears quiet and gentle, his personality is somewhat nasty and cold, and those he dislikes rarely have a good ending.

You watch as the spider is pushed into the car, and then as the car slowly disappears from sight, you ask the ghost standing next to you a question.

"Simon, should we follow them or go back to the hotel?"

"Back to the hotel."

After the ghost replied to you, it strode towards the car you had driven.

You had just sat in the passenger seat and hadn't even had time to fasten your seatbelt when he slammed on the gas, and the car shot off like an arrow!

You gripped the seatbelt tightly, wanting to ask him to slow down, but you could sense his unusual urgency, so you held back in the end.

As soon as he parked his car downstairs at the hotel, he hurried towards the hotel and rushed to his room.

You jog to catch up, and after following the ghost into the room, you hear a bang as he locks himself in the bathroom.

Then, a series of vomiting sounds came from inside!
